Northcoast Footcare was developed by Dr. Christine Dobrowolski and the Redwood Podiatry Group based in Eureka, California. After sending hundreds of patients to local drug stores for medical products, Dr. Dobrowolski began to realize that the drug stores did not carry the best products for her patients. She decided to open a small store for her patients next to the Redwood Podiatry Group office. The store gradually became very popular with the patients at Redwood Podiatry Group and this popularity led to Northcoastfootcare.com. Dr. Dobrowolski wanted more people to have access to the products she recommends for her patients.

There have been many changes to the website in the past few years, including moving Northcoast Footcare to South Lake Tahoe, but the spirit is still the same. Northcoast Footcare is dedicated to offering reliable information on foot conditions and selling quality products at reasonable prices to people suffering with foot problems.
